HAGGIS, Scotland's challenger to internet sensation Moo Deng, can now be visited.
The baby pygmy hippo can be spotted in her habitat at Edinburgh Zoo, alongside her mum Gloria.
Visitors to the zoo can watch Haggis become bolder as she spends more time each day exploring her environment.
Pygmy hippos are native to the forests and swamps of west Africa, with a substantial population in Liberia.
They are classified as an endangered species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, and it is estimated that less than 2500 remain in the wild due to habitat loss.

Haggis was born on October 30 in Edinburgh to parents Otto and Gloria.
She has a sister, named Amara, who was born in 2021 and moved to a zoo in London in 2023.
Haggis has often been compared with Moo Deng, another pygmy hippo who was born in July.
